The Success of the Discovery Drone Kit Project

The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), in a powerful partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through the Know Before You Fly initiative, recently concluded a project that is reshaping how young students engage with aviation. The "Discovery Drone Kit" project delivered high-quality drone education to thousands of students nationwide.

Fold to Flight is a free project introducing students to aviation through paper airplanes and other models, enhancing skills and knowledge.

The AMA Education team is excited to open registration for the 2024 season of the Heavy-Lift Challenge, a program that develops flying skills, meteorology knowledge, and engineering abilities. The competition offers flexibility in scheduling and site selection, and participants are automatically enrolled in a Ground School course for support.
